London Restaurants - North London

Located in the gradually up and coming area of King's Cross, The Fellow offers the usual gastropub fare. You'll also find a handy roof terrace if you want to, understandably, escape from King's Cross street level.

Is there room in King's Cross for another restaurant specialising in local produce, when Konstam and Acorn House are already ploughing this particular trail? The owners of Brill certainly hope so. Their aim is to 'evolve the local environment' - whatever that means...

This Islington pub is tucked down a quiet side street and remains one of the prettiest pubs in the borough. Run by Nick Gibson, the menu is a modern take on British pub grub. Grab a table in the garden if the weather's behaving itself.

Owner David Upton was inspired to open Coast by his grandparents who live in St Ives. Paintings from Cornish artists line the walls and the menu emphasis is firmly on sustainable seafood.

Modern Iranian restaurant serving essentially good Persian food.

This King's Place restaurant is in a super setting with a massive terrace opening on to the canal. The menu is modern British and you'll find all the meat here sourced from the restaurant's own farm in Northumberland.

It takes a lot to make yet another gastropub opening stand out from the crowd in London but the Bull and Last appears to have stuck to the tried and tested formula of serving simply fantastic food. They call themselves a Pub and Kitchen, but reviewers felt the food surpassed usual gastropub fare to be truly gourmet.

With the helping hand of Fay Maschler in the menu department, Searcy's have turned this flagship project into a British destination restaurant to thrill French tourists as they disembark at St Pancras as well as enticing somewhat reticent Londoners into dining at their own railway stations.

Everyone in London - including restaurant critics - wants the perfect neighbourhood bistro to open up just around the corner from where they live. So it's with a degree of pea-green jealousy that reviewers rated this Primrose Hill French as a great example of a rare local gem.
